Have a look at the glimpses from the final seminar of our The Flow of Urban Life program, co-funded by Business Finland as part of their Veturi initiative. It was a rewarding four-year journey together with our partners to tackle some of the biggest challenges posed by urbanization and climate change. From smart construction to operation of smart buildings with green field services, we’re leading the charge in innovation to create a better urban future for the next billion people moving into cities by 2030. The innovation program has truly lived up to its name: meaning “locomotive” in English, the Veturi initiative is the engine driving us towards a smoother and more sustainable future.
